therefore Resolution No. 12-75/76 was passed and adopted.
Council talked about the restrictions in the water use
agreement as set forth in Ordinance No. 225: Council felt that
in the best interest of the citizens and residents of Tequesta they
should be allowed to drill shallow irrigation wells without any
conditions except the usual permit required for drilling such
wells by persons between the North Fork and .the Northwest Fork of
the Loxahatche~ River. Huggins moved, "that the Council direct
the Village Attorney to prepare the appropriate document to amend
Ordinance No. 225 by way of deleting Section 2 and 3 of that
Ordinance". Vote on the motion was:
Baron Against
Brown For
Campbell Against

and the motion was therefore adopted.
The next item on the Agenda was the consideration on
draft of agreement between the Village of Tequesta and Tri-Southern
Utilities Company, Inc. for bulk water service. The Council
talked at length about the minimum and maximum the Village of
Tequesta water system would have to purchase from Tri-Southern
Utilities Company. Tri-Southern Utilities Company's spokesman,
Mr. Gillian, told Council Tri-Southern could live with 1.5 million

gallons but not any lower. Council made few changes to the proposal
as presented by Mr. Randolph, Attorney for the Village. Baron
moved, "that we indicate to our Village Attorney that the general
proposal, as set forth in paragraph six (6), minimum 1.5 million
gallons of what has been termed proposal one (1) is generally
acceptable and shall be submitted to Tri-Southern". The motion
was seconded and adopted. Baron said to let the minutes show
that Tri-Southern is only interested in minor wording, but is in
agreement with the contract. Council eliminated two (2) sentences
at the end of section 10, starting at, "Furthermore, upon .....
and ending in ..... by this Agreement". Added in section 11, the
word "financing" as part of the temporary or continuing delay in
the construction or interconnection of the facilities on the part
of the Village.
Council instructed the Village Manager to answer the
May 5, 1976 letter from Irene Dickson, President of the Beach
Road Association, asking about an additional water main line east
of the Intracoastal Waterway. Council said that where and when
the water solution has been resolved they will consider the
Association's request once getting additional water has been
resolved.
Joe B. Wise, William R. Hough & Co., Financial Consultants,
talked to Council about bond validation for financing the purchase
of the bulk water sale from Tri-Southern and other financing necessary
for the improvements to the Village water system. Mr. Wise told
Council that they would have to have first reading of the bond
ordinance in the very near future to keep on schedule with the
bonds already validated on the U.S. No. 1 water main relocation
project.
Council was briefed by the Village Attorney on the F.E.C.
Railway suit.
